About
Yusheng Zhao is a leading researcher at the frontier of soft robotics and stretchable energy storage, with a focus on integrating functional materials into next-generation wearable and implantable devices. His most notable contribution is the development of a stretchable Zn-ion hybrid battery that doubles as a magnetically actuated soft robot, a breakthrough that marries energy autonomy with mechanical reconfigurability. By employing reconfigurable V₂CTₓ and Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene electrodes, Zhao engineered crumple-like microtextures that allow the battery to fold and unfold without performance loss, directly addressing a critical challenge in untethered soft machines. This work, published in *Advanced Energy Materials* in 2021, has garnered over 39 citations, underscoring its impact on the fields of flexible electronics and energy storage. Zhao’s research not only advances the fundamental understanding of MXene-based electrodes but also provides a practical pathway toward truly autonomous soft robots. His innovative approach—merging battery design with robotic actuation—positions him as a key figure in the drive to create self-powered, shape-changing systems for biomedical and wearable applications.
